Introduction & Seller’s Initial Concerns

  • Seller (Ty) initiates contact to see if wholesaler is interested in buying 123 Main Street.
  • Wholesaler is open to discussing a sale but expresses skepticism due to frequent similar calls in the past and concerns about time-wasting.
  • Seller differentiates himself by claiming to have serious buyers and not intending to waste time or give lowball offers.

  • If the price is right, seller promises a straightforward, hassle-free transaction with no fees or commissions.
  • Seller asks if the owner would be open to hearing an offer, emphasizing flexibility and respect for the seller’s time.

Distinction from Real Estate Agents

  • Owner questions why to deal with a wholesaler if the wholesaler isn't the actual buyer.
  • Seller clarifies his role as a “middleman” facilitating a smooth, fast sale between seller and buyer.
  • Seller explains key differences from a real estate agent:
    • Wholesaler can move faster due to existing buyer network.
    • No open houses, showings, or lengthy listing process.

Open Questions / Follow-Ups
